The speed bumps are definitely there for safety, not FE, so slim chance of getting the neighbors to remove them. Especially since I also don't want to step out of my entrance gate in front of a car that is trying to break the sound barrier.
Without speed bumps: most cars go 40-50 km/h, but many (25%) go as fast as 90 km/h.
With speed bumps: most cars go 30-40 km/h, while about 10% floor it and accelerate to 60 km/h and suddenly brake hard, then again and again.
Mind you, this is a small residential street with intersections every 100m.

That reminds me of a joke: What kind of car can take a 12 inch curb at 45 mph? Someone else's.
There was a post here somewhere about an active speed bump that would lower if the car was going slow enough. I can't find it at the moment.
